Who would have thought that one of the hottest views on YouTube would be a safety video from Delta but that’s exactly what’s happening. Deltalina is all the rage…

“She’s been called “Deltalina,” given her physical resemblance to Angelina Jolie (if Jolie were a red head, better looking and not so weird, that is), but her real name is Katherine Lee. If you fly Delta Air Lines, you’ll soon see a lot of Lee because the airline remade its long running safety video – which had all the pizzazz of a Soviet-era training film – with a new four-and-a-half-minute video narrated by Lee, a strikingly attractive 33-year-old flight attendant with high cheekbones and blue eyes. At one point, Lee playfully wags her finger to let viewers know that smoking is not allowed. The video is a hit on YouTube and on various travel message boards. Over on Flyertalk.com, one poster joked that “I hope they are holding classes for all … FAs (flight attendants) on how to do the finger-wag.”
